Cwrw Glaslyn/Glaslyn Ale is a fine golden premium bitter brewed from Welsh mountain water and natural ingredients.
The name comes from the mighty Glaslyn river which begins among the upper slopes of 'Yr Wyddfa' (Snowdon) before cascading through the Aberglaslyn Pass until it reaches Porthmadog Harbour and the Irish Sea beyond.

Cask at Liverpool Arms. Clear copper gold. Foamy white head. Aroma has vage malts ans vagueur woodiness. Tangy citrus and wood. Earthy. Slightly herbal. A tad off. Light. Thin to slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Not just bkand but just tastes unbalanced. Stereotypical awful Gold, although a Golden Bitter in this instance.

Bottle from Wales Ales. Clear gold with nice white head. A pretty fresh floral and herbal hop aroma with standard pale malt. Taste has a semi-sweet fruity note somewhere between tropical and stone fruit, floral bitter bite on a solid if uninteresting malt base. Decent balance to it though.

24/6/2024. Bottle bought at SPAR, Llanberis. Pours almost clear golden amber with a small frothy white head. Aroma is sweet malts, straw, citrus, stewed fruits, starchy and chalky edge. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, quite lively. Not so great.

Cask at Telfords Warehouse, Chester. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just some hints of floral hops. In the mouth it is sweet, but with sour undertones. Flavour has mango, marmalade and floral hops, plus some herbal traces. Finish is quite bitter and slightly dry. It’s not bad, if somewhat bland.

Bottle, gift shop in Llanfair. Clear yellow golden, sizeable white head, ok lasting. Quite grassy nose, a bit herbal. Slightly sweet flowery and fruity notes. Medium bitterness, grassy with slight biscuity presence. Lasting aftertaste. Light body. Ok, drinkable.
